Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 cup mango puree fresh or canned
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts skinless
Garnish
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mango puree, lime juice, honey, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Reserve half of the marinade for basting later.
Marinate the Chicken
  1. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
  2. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
  3. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
Serve
  1. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  2. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
